So I dont have many choices in the local fish stores in vermont. I travel to west lebanon new hampshire and burlington vermont to see what the lfs there look like that use to be great. both of the places I use to love look absolutely terrible. I would shut them down now as most of the fish were dead and had ich. I just dont get it, its so depressing.
Makes me want to start my own fish store.
I cant believe the prices of the fish either. The only fish I wanted looked semi ok and they wanted 14.99 per sterbai cory, 6.99 for tiny tiny cardinal tetras, and 12.99 for blue rams. :headshake2:
So while I was in the local walmart I decided to see what the tank section looked like....... guess what....the tanks where old and crappy but the fish looked excellent and the plants were amazing. I bought three large potted HC, a very large bush of reopens, and 2 blue rams in great condition for 20 bucks!!!!! 20 dollars

So I will be looking for deals on rare finds at the local walmart... never thought Id say that...and getting the rest from the local AC folks.
